Kia ora whānau,
Our thoughts are on the new tītī season. We wish whānau who are going to the islands a safe and bountiful journey.

Unfortunately the scheduled Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu general hui which was to be held at Te Kōawa Tūroa o Takitimu was cancelled due to a tangi. Many thanks to whānau who assisted in the preparations leading up to this hui.

If you have enjoyed a birthday in the last month or have new additions to your whānau, congratulations – wishing you all good health and prosperity for the year ahead.

Communication with whānau

We are looking at ways to improve our communications with whānau and exploring different medium to get the word out there about what is going on. Generally, we are seeking to limit the volume of email traffic we generate. Check out our rūnaka Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/OrakaAparimaRunakaPanui

We’ve created an opportunities page on Facebook. This will carry details of opportunities for our members such as details of scholarships, bird transfers, vacancies for representatives on various boards and much more. Find it here: www.facebook.com/pages/Oraka-Aparima-Runaka-opportunity pages/1615071675378752
In the interim we will continue to send you emails but let us know if you no longer wish to receive them.
